What Is Uninvolved Parenting?

During the 1960s, psychologist Diana Baumrind described three different parenting styles based on her research with preschool-age children: authoritarian, authoritative and permissive parenting. In later years, researchers added a fourth style known as uninvolved parenting.

Uninvolved parenting, sometimes referred to as neglectful parenting, is a style characterized by a lack of responsiveness to a child’s needs.

Uninvolved parents make few to no demands of their children and they are often indifferent, dismissive or even completely neglectful.

These parents have little emotional involvement with their kids. While they provide for basic needs like food and shelter, they are uninvolved in their children’s lives. The degree of involvement may vary considerably. Some uninvolved parents may be relatively hands-off with their kids, but may still have some basic limits such as curfews. Others may be downright neglectful or even reject their children outright.
